Combining time and correct answers makes this a tough one! I originally didn't really notice the part where time counted as well as answers, and then under pressure I couldn't remember a few, and of course there were others that I had no idea and didn't want to spend 25 minutes listening to find out, so I missed a lot. It was a fun challenge! :D Too many number questions, though, for my taste. ;)

Math = False

It's timed! I was using opera browser so I exited, and logged off thinking I would comeback to the questions later, bad plan. When I came back it was at the information page and said
Looks like you have a question or two that still needs to be filled out.

For the record, it's more about getting the questions right then doing it in the quickest time. So it's better to have a slower time and 50 correct answers than a fast time and 49 correct answers. ;)

Wow, that was hard! I used AIO wiki a LOT and tried not to think about my time. I think that I did pretty well!

Those were some tough questions. It would be cool to see some more trivia some time.

Uh oh, Catspaw and Boswell found it hard!?

We had the Ultimate Passages Fan Scavenger Hunt and now this. I'm loving the collaboration, inventiveness, and tangible prizes. It sounds like the timing, a novel aspect, would serve as a tiebreaker. The person who gets the most right wins, but the quicker time will prevail in the event of a tie. Kudos to the creators for injecting excitement into this AIO fan community!

P.S. I see that the contest is managed in Google Docs, which makes me happy! \:D/

*considers the defensive tactic of editing AIO wiki with all the wrong answers* Lucky, for you all, I like wikis too much to irresponsibly sabotage one for personal gain. :wink:

Don't mean to start any trash talk, but I'm taking this pretty seriously. There's only two so far that I can't figure out! :yes:

Thanks, Jacob and Trent, for all your work. It's really well done. I love the questions and am having a blast! I've been working on it all day and am only half way done. I have a word document keeping track of my progress, episodes to listen to, possible answers to double check, etc. Tomorrow's a snow day, so I'll probably be working late into the night, maybe even an all-nighter. Yipee!

Note to self: read more closely next time. ;) I definitely would have fared better that way, since I didn't take time to look up some harder ones. Come on, who knows all those crazy number ones?! At least ask the ones that I know. ;)

Taq, I hope your surprise that Boswell and I found it hard doesn't mean that you found it easy! :mad: There are lots of questions that require information that most people don't retain for long...at least not me. ;)

I found it challenging... and AIO wiki gave me absolutely nothing. Not even Jason's agent #... for which, I have no episodes on this computer, so I basically couldn't do anything except the ones I knew. ... Oh well. 15 is better than nothing I guess.

Haha, you can certainly find a couple answers on the AIO Wiki. But a number of them require listening to the episode from which the trivia is taken. :badgrin:

There's nothing stopping you from entering again. ;)

With Google Docs, you can't go wrong! I'm glad to see that everyone is enjoying this contest, and feeling extremely challenged as well. We had a lot of fun putting together the questions.

And, I must say, I know all the answers as well. Haha. But all of you have a chance to know them all, too. It's an open audiobook test.

For some reason, I think I get the feeling you assume everyone either 1) has every episode/every album or 2) has general knowledge of every episode and on going. 8/ Um...

Well, everybody cool has both!

Just kidding. :wink: If it makes you feel any better, I don't have either of those quite completely, either.

So I can enter more than once? And if I can, would they all count? Or just the newest entry?
